    Far From Noise is not, strictly speaking, a game.

    I've played "walking simulators," like Gone Home, and dialogue games, like Doki Doki Literature Club. This is not like those.

    I've played "walking simulators," like Gone Home, and dialogue games, like Doki Doki Literature Club. This is not like those. You have dialogue choices, but each one influences no more than a handful of lines. There is no real interaction, no discovery, no choice, no consequences. It's a silent film with no action, a philosophical diatribe with no conclusion. I knew it was short--it had to be, for how little there is here--so I stuck it out to see how it ended. I was disappointed.

    Far from Noise is not a game for everybody, but it is a game that everybody should play. Amazing narrative, a remarkable story and an incredible visual style are the elements that make this videogame a true piece of art.

    I enjoyed the meandering conversation and found the main character to be relatable. She’s at a point in her life where she’s ambivalent about what she wants, and she wants to recapture simpler times from her childhood. These are feelings that many of us have experienced before, and Far From Noise is a kind of guided exploration of how we can choose to view those moments of terrified paralysis.
